HONDA CRF250R CUP - FOXHILL
21st April 2024
The Honda CRF250R Cup is heating up! Two former 2023 series champions - Luke Mellows and Matt Tolley - rode alongside the likes of Adam Chatfield and Ben White. Anya Colley and Eva Banks headed up the ladies representation while former British Motocross Champion Graeme Irwin made a celebrity guest appearance.
On a sunny Sunday at Foxhill, there was a big buzz around the Honda CRF250R Cup and in particular its special guest, Graeme Irwin. Each round sees a celebrity rider join in the fun and take part in the races. This week, it was the former British Champion.
Irwin got the holeshot in the first two races and led from start to finish, letting everyone know that he hasn't lost any of his skill and prowess on a dirt bike.
The third and last race of the day, however, Howard Wainwright managed to get the holeshot and led the opening laps closely followed by Luke Mellows and Adam Chatfield. Greame Irwin found himself back in fourth.
Irwin fought back to get in the lead within five laps where he cruised to victory in the final race of the day, making him overall winner for the day. Howard Wainwright came in second overall with two second places and a third place finish. Adam Chatfield came in third overall with two thirds and a second place finish.
“Fair play to Honda for setting this up and to Dave Thorpe for pulling me off the couch to get it done. He sold me the dream, and I said I thought it was going to be a nightmare but it wasn’t. It was great fun with the family all here. It was all good.” said a happy Irwin. “I have been smiling from ear to ear today. It’s been so much fun,”
